Kirchhoff's Laws & Measuring Instruments

The potential difference (VA−VB)(V_A - V_B) between the points A and B in the given figure is

Figure

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Walk from A to B along the current: potential drops by IRIR across each resistor and by EE when going from + to − of the cell.
  2. VA−2(2)−3−2(1)=VBV_A - 2(2) - 3 - 2(1) = V_B
  3. VA−VB=4+3+2=9 VV_A - V_B = 4 + 3 + 2 = 9\text{ V}
  4. So the answer is (c) 9 V.
